By all means let's have an argument about this issue. I have declared my 'Yes' view by the banner on this blog, but regardless of this I think that this poster should be withdrawn
The issue of whether our troops should be being killed in Iraq and Afghanistan in order to support American foreign policy is nothing to do with funding or how we vote.
If we can afford billions in aid to countries better off than most, then we can afford both. And, let's face it, anyone who believes that scrapping AV will lead to increased funding anywhere else is seriously deluding themselves.
I think this debate needs to concentrate on the issues around the fairness of the voting system and not be clouding the issue by how much it is estimated (big word) it might cost to change it.
Emotive and meaningless comparisons like the one above do nothing to strengthen the 'No' vote case - and bear in mind I say this as an opponent their views...
